This would imply that the intent of the bylaw is not to permit moorage or
marinas in any circumstances.

There is little doubt that it was not Council's intention to completely
forbid, without any further consideration all marinas and moorage within the
boundaries of Port Coquitlam, therefore it would be appropriate, at this time
that the zoning bylaw be reviewed to provide for the instrument to approve
marinas and moorage facilities in certain zones and that locational policies
for Marinas and moorage facilities be developed to serve as a guidance to
Council for this type of applications. For this purpose and to discuss the
issue of public access to the river shore, the Official Community Plan should
be reviewed.

In the meanwhile, it would be appropriate to advise the Fraser River Harbour
Commission not to approve or reject the current leasing application until the
necessary bylaw amendments and policy mentioned above are completed and
Council can make a decision consistent with them.
